"Side Effects is a serious indictment of the pharmaceutical industry, clinical researchers, and government regulators, told in captivating prose. It makes you worry about the authenticity of the evidence that doctors use from day to day." -- Dr. Jerome Kassirer, Distinguished Professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, former Editor-in-Chief of New England Journal of Medicine, and author of On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health
"A richly detailed account of the disgraceful self-serving ties between drug companies and the psychiatric profession, as told through stories about the heroes, villains and victims in this drama. An engrossing read and a valuable contribution to public understanding of the need for reform."--Arnold S. Relman, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Medicine and of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Former Editor, New England Journal of Medicine
"This is the riveting story of how one of the world's largest drug companies and a few university researchers on its payroll suppressed evidence that a top-selling antidepressant might actually be dangerous in adolescents. It's also the very human story of how two courageous and persistent women made sure the world learned about it. Reads like a good novel, with lessons that go well beyond this case." -- Marcia Angell, M.D., Senior Lecturer in Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Former Editor-in-Chief, New England Journal of Medicine
